Description	Slide (6.0) is a comprehensive 2D limit equilibrium slope stability program complete with finite element groundwater seepage analysis, sensitivity / probabilistic analysis and support design. All types of soil and rock slopes, embankments, earth dams and retaining walls can be analyzed. State of the art CAD capabilities allow you to create and edit complex models. Slide offers 17 different material strength models for rock and soil including Mohr-Coulomb, Anisotropic and Generalized Hoek-Brown. Support types include grouted tieback, end anchored, soil nail, micro pile and geotextile. Back analysis allows you to determine the required support force for a given safety factor. Advanced search algorithms simplify the task of finding the critical slip surface with the lowest safety factor. Safety factors are calculated based on a number of widely used limit equilibrium techniques including Bishop Simplified, Spencer, and GLE/Morgenstern & Price. It has built-in finite element groundwater seepage analysis for saturated / unsaturated steady state or transient groundwater conditions. Flows, pressures and gradients are calculated based on user defined hydraulic boundary conditions. Seepage analysis is fully integrated with the slope stability analysis or can be used as a standalone module. Slide has extensive probabilistic analysis capabilities - you may assign statistical distributions to almost any input parameters, including material properties, support properties, loads, and water table location. The probability of failure and reliability index is calculated, and provides an objective measure of the risk of failure associated with a slope design. Sensitivity analysis allows you to determine the effect of individual variables on the safety factor of the slope. Rapid drawdown analysis can be used to determine the stability of earth dams subjected to rapid drawdown conditions. Models can be exported to Phase2 for finite element slope stability analysis, allowing comparison of limit equilibrium and finite element results.
